Ahoy there! American billionaire's superyacht arrives in Falmouth Marina

• West Country
• Falmouth Harbour
• Friday 15 September 2023 at 7:57pm

An £80million superyacht, owned by an American billionaire, has moored up in Cornwall .

Rocinante, which is 258ft long, arrived in Falmouth Harbour on Thursday 14 September, making everybody else's boats look small in comparison.

Built in 2008 by the Lurssen shipyard in Germany, it was formerly known as TV and Madsummer, before being bought by games developer Gabe Newell.

The billionaire, who is president of the gaming company Valve, was reported to have a net-worth of $4.3billion in 2023.

The luxury vessel costs between £4million and £8million to run, but was renamed by the tech mogul after a less expensive mode of transport — Don Quixote's horse.

Rocinante was in good company this week, with another billionaire's £40million superyacht not far away.

Game Changer is owned by Hong Kong based billionaire heiress Karen Lo.

She was spotted conducting sea trials in Falmouth on 15 September as part of work at Pendennis Shipyard.

Game Changer was initially designed to be a support vessel to allow owners of superyachts to carry more equipment.

But she was later adapted and upgraded to become a superyacht in her own right.

The 230ft Dutch-built vessel not only has a helicopter landing pad, but also a submarine and custom dive centre.

Super Yacht Services launches in Falmouth

Anne carson has set up the company in response to increasing superyacht traffic in the region….

In order to meet a growing demand in the region, former yacht chef Anne Carson has launched Super Yacht Services in Falmouth, UK this summer. Having had an extensive career working on some of the most prolific superyachts, Carson has set up the company to support crew and owners with yacht clearance, berth reservations, fresh provisioning, courier services, fuel bunkering, concierge services and almost anything else a yacht might need while in Cornwall.

“The idea came to me last summer when I saw MY  Dona Amelia (ex.  Rosencavalier ) towed into the harbour, SY Elfje sailing out and MY  Aquila in the back ground all at the same time – so many superyachts seemed to be coming and going all year,” Carson explains. She then did some research into whether anyone was already providing yacht support in the area, not wanting to step on any toes, and discovered that no one was, with the nearest yacht agents located as far away as Norway and the Netherlands.

Having only launched Super Yacht Services this summer, business is off to a promising start as Carson currently has five large superyachts under her belt, all having needed various yacht support services. Having worked for a significant stint on board SY Adela , which has close ties with Falmouth, Carson has been able to benefit from her knowledge of suppliers in the area.

Part of the initial success of the company, Carson believes, could be attributed to a change in cruising habits, as Falmouth is increasingly seen as a good place to stop at the start of a trip to northern Europe. Considering its large natural harbour, extensive moorings and anchorages and shipyard facilities, the infrastructure for superyachts is plentiful. “It seems like there is more and more superyacht traffic here all the time and I don’t think there has ever been so many superyachts stopping in Falmouth, so I think there has been a spike in demand for these services,” Carson reflects.

“Pendennis Shipyard is busy, so as well as being able to work with boats coming out of the yard, there seems to be a lot of owners who have cruised many years in the Mediterranean and are now looking for new areas to cruise. This is particularly true as the boats are getting bigger and able to handle the conditions of the northern climate. This summer, for example, both  Nahlin and Talitha were cruising in Norway at the same time.”

Carson is pleased to have already delivered a wide variety of services to her clients, from food provisioning to glass replacement on hatches and refrigeration health checks. Her husband, former captain Steve Carson, is also able to help with the technical requests.

SUPER YACHT SERVICES FALMOUTH UK LTD

Falmouth Harbour, Cornwall is becoming a popular stop off point for Superyachts as they enter British waters...

Some yachts have finished refits in northern European yards and want to temporarily leave the EU, others are heading for works at Pendennis Shipyard, some are on their way to cruising the Baltic, Scotland or maybe Iceland, other yachts moving on to the Med...

With its good infrastructure and services (though limited berthing facilities), yachts are using Falmouth as a base - carrying out crew changes, training, interior works, restocking - provisioning, even taking delivery of new Tenders, the list goes on...!

The one central role in all this is having a good, trustworthy YACHT SERVICES AGENT. Someone who understands, who is professional, hard working and can organise and coordinate the logistics involved - each job is unique and requires 100% attention!

SuperYachtServicesFalmouthUK Ltd, why they say, "Just call Anne - she'll find a way to help you!

This year to date, Anne has seen a large number of yachts pass through the south west and UK waters.

She works hard at ensuring there is good communication between all parties involved welcoming vessels to Falmouth - from the Harbourmaster, marinas & Shipyard personnel, to the Falmouth Pilot Boat Arrow, to local provisioning companies and marina slipways - used to launch refitted tenders. It is true team spirit that makes for successful visits, and most important yachts wanting to return!

Miles Carden, Chief Executive of  Falmouth Harbour  is incredibly supportive of visiting superyachts, and works with Anne to facilitate arrivals and welcome all yachts to this beautiful Harbour, which incidentally together with Carrick Roads is the third deepest harbour in the world!

Miles has commented, "Superyachts are an incredibly important part of our business at Falmouth Harbour and visits have pretty big impacts to the Town of Falmouth and the wider economy. We work hard with partners like Anne Carson at Superyacht Services Falmouth to make these visits run smoothly."

She has even had to stock large superyachts at anchor from a tender - challenging at the best of times let alone the varying tides added into the equation!

Falmouth Harbour

Falmouth Harbour is a horseshoe-shaped bay in the far south of Antigua island, and is the beating heart of the island’s yachting tradition.

This natural harbour is more than just pristine sand beaches, breathtaking views and tropical delights - although these do form a huge part of its appeal. Home to Falmouth Harbour Marina and the Antigua Yacht Club Marina - considered the epicentre of the island’s yachting activities - Falmouth Harbour naturally boasts a spectacular choice of 5 star resorts and great places to eat and drink.

Something For Everyone Whether you’re looking for a relaxed captains and crew hangout, or a six star resort, Falmouth Harbour has it all. Known for its laid-back atmosphere in contrast to the busy capital St John’s, Falmouth Harbour is just around the headland from historic English Harbour and in easy walking distance of Nelson’s Dockyard.

Aside from St John’s, Falmouth Harbour is known to boast the biggest collection of eateries and bars on the island in a much more relaxed setting than the island’s capital. Whether you are looking for fine dining options or to enjoy the laid-back island ambiance, you will simply be spoilt for choice in Falmouth Harbour.

Beach Bliss The famous Pigeon Point Beach is ideally located in close proximity to Falmouth Harbour - here, locals and visitors alike congregate to enjoy the white sands, warm ambiance and great snorkeling.

Falmouth Harbour is also a short walk from Galleon Beach and the nearby Rendezvous-Bay Beach. For a more rugged natural setting, be sure to pay a trip to the Pillars of Hercules - a small beach set against the backdrop of jaw-dropping natural cliffs, in between Falmouth and English Harbour in Freeman’s Bay. This is also a great spot for snorkelling due to the incredible natural formations.

Superyacht Hub Falmouth Harbour Marina is an epicentre for yachting on the island, offering deep-draft berthing and accommodation for large yachts up 100m in length. Nearby Antigua Yacht Club Marina & Resort is the home of Caribbean sailing, hosting international events and offering excellent crew facilities, gym and a luxury resort. Both marinas are set amidst a selection of boutiques, cafes and restaurants.

Historical Attractions Although less renowned than Nelson’s Dockyard in the adjacent English Harbour, Falmouth Harbour is home to a selection of intriguing historical attractions detailing Antigua’s unique history and character. Pencil in an afternoon of hiking and be sure to take a trip to Great Fort George and Fort Berkeley for some incredible natural scenery, walking in the footsteps of Nelson himself.

Walmart heiress's luxury superyacht sails into Falmouth

It's said to have its own aquarium on board

Our weekend morning emails feature the very best news and exclusive content from our team of reporters

A luxurious superyacht owned by one of the richest women in the world has been spotted in Cornwall. Kaos, the 55th largest yacht in the world, was seen moored off Falmouth after being in London towards the end of last month.

Owned by Walmart empire heiress Nancy Walton Laurie, it is said to be worth more than £240 million and was built by in 2017 by Oceanco, the same company which made Jeff Bezos's £400m superyacht.

As reported by CornwallLive 's sister site MyLondon , before travelling down to Cornwall, the 110-metres long superyacht travelled from Miami in Florida to the River Thames where it docked at Butler’s Wharf. At the time of its launch in 2017, Kaos, which weighs 4,523 tonnes, was the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands.

It has 16 cabins, with room for 45 crew members and 31 guests. According to YachtBible , it can travel at a speed of 19 knots and has an enviably lavish interior.

There are four VIP suites, and ten standard suites with ensuites. Kaos boasts a steam room, full gym, indoor beach club, and a glass elevator between floors. On top of that, there is a cinema, a sauna and a spa.

Across four decks, there are a variety of amenities, including a swimming pool, aquarium and a helipad. Below deck, staff also have gym facilities and there is a hospital in case of emergency.

Boat International reported that Kaos's original interiors are by Sam Sorgiovanni and are said to boast more marble and stone than any other vessel, with inspiration drawn from Casablanca's melting pot of European and Arabic culture. Crystal Caviar insets, custom silk carpets, Iranian white onyx, Golden Spider stone were all key components of the yacht's styling.

It is fitted with a full swimming pool as well as another 8.5-metre pool on the aft deck alongside a 14-seater dining table and a main saloon spanning 135 square metres. The lounge area has gold ceilings, with dark wood features and marble bathrooms.

Kaos is fitted with its own helipad while in terms of entertainment, it has a 12-seat cinema, spa facilities and there is also a full aquarium.

Mrs Laurie is the youngest daughter of Bud Walton, whose brother Sam began what would become the world's largest retail store. Its founder and his wife Helen Walton had four children - Rob, John, Jim, and Alice. John passed away in 2005 in a plane crash but the three surviving siblings have been consistently listed in the top 20 of the Forbes 400 list since 2001.

The first-ever Walmart store opened in July 1962 in Arkansas, and the heirs own around 50 per cent of the stock collectively.
